The Navy can become more ferocious and stronger, one of which is with the
presence of submarines.
This was also revealed by Defense View, saying that the Navy would be very
vicious if it was equipped with two main components and one of them was a
submarine.
Therefore, the ownership of a tough and ferocious submarine is one of the
determining factors for the Navy's combat strength.
It is undeniable that two thirds of the world is covered by oceans, making
the presence of a qualified Navy become important. And the presence of a
submarine combat fleet for the Navy is no less important.
Ownership of a submarine correlates directly with the strength of the Navy.
Of the many submarines in the world, there are some of them that turn out to
be very vicious.
Quoted from Military Today, there are two examples of very fierce submarines
in this world. The two submarines that became the Navy's fighting force and
were very vicious are the Seawolf class and the Astute class.
To find out more about the combat capabilities of the Seawolf class and
Astute class submarines, consider the following:
1. Seawolf-class submarines
First, there is the Seawolf class submarine, which turns out to be the most
ferocious submarine in the world.
The Seawolf class submarine is a submarine owned by the US Navy.
As a developed country, of course, the US is not careless about the
development of submarines such as the Seawolf class.
The Seawolf class submarine is the world's most advanced hunter and killer
submarine.
Not only is it the most sophisticated submarine, it turns out that the
Seawolf Class is a very expensive submarine.
The presence of these Seawolf class submarines was to restore the
technological advantage the US Navy had enjoyed over the Soviets from 1945
to the mid-1980s.
This is when the espionage and cynical trade practices of some US allies are
eroding it somewhat.
The Seawolf class submarines were meant to locate and destroy the latest
Soviet ballistic missile submarines.
Initially, 12 Seawolf class submarines were planned to be built, but these
advanced submarines were too expensive even for the US.
And in the end production was stopped with only managed to develop three
units of Seawolf class submarines.
The Seawolf-class submarines are arguably the quietest submarines the world
has ever built, even at high speeds.
Most submarines need to maintain a speed of up to 5 knots to avoid detection
by passive sonar arrays, while the Seawolf class is credited for being able
to cruise at 20 knots and is still impossible to find.
2. Astute class Submarine
The first Astute-class nuclear-powered attack submarine was commissioned
with the Royal Navy in 2010.
So far there are seven ships of the class in service, and will replace the
older Swiftsure-class attack submarines.
The Astute class submarines are very “quiet” and can carry more weapons than
the previous Trafalgar class ships.
The attack submarine is equipped with six 533 mm torpedo tubes, which are
used to launch Spearfish torpedoes, Sub-Harpoon anti-ship missiles and
Tomahawk cruise missiles.
The Tomahawk Block IV ground attack cruise missile has a range of 1,700 km
and can target enemy ships as well as ground targets.
